Dear Diary, — Decided to write book today. — Thought am good writer, am smart gal, have interesting sex-filled (lie) life. — Thought can write about men, life, love, family, food, sex, and fat assedness. — Thought can share stories with tiny-butted and big-butted alike. — Can tell people why fat, why (was) cokehead, why traffic jams and herbal lax...  more »

There was once a girl named Kirstie Lou.

She dreamed that one day she would be a huge star. So she worked hard to achieve her dream--never suspecting just how huge she would one day become.

This is the story of her Tiny-Butted then Big-Butted then Tiny-Butted life...with true tales of men, mischief, loss, cocaine, suede pants, religion, chicken and noodles and family, all thrown into the pie.

Buon Apetito!

Alley's accounting gives readers and intimate look into her life while providing a hilarious view of being overweight in a skinny-obsessed world. Whether readers are struggling with weight or personal integrity - or if they're just looking for love and happiness - they'll identify with Alley's experiences. She tells it like it is and helps us laugh at ourselves (and others.)

Neither memoir nor humor nor diet book, this odd duck is a compilation of vignettes from Alley's childhood and musings about her weight, kids, and body image.

Kirstie is REAL here. From reading this book I know, I could hang out with her. She lets us in to her world and you can see her honesty. This is not going to change the world, but it is interesting to get to know her.

She has a very comical and raw style, does not shy away from embarrassing details and graphic descriptions, and fills in the blanks on what you think you might know about her. If she wasn't so rich and famous, you would have the feeling you were having a hushed conversation at a sleepover with your slightly older, slightly slutty cousin who doesn't mind giving you EVERY detail of her last date. It's a quick read, warm and humorous with a sprinkling of scandal and groans and a little revenge, a good time. I definitely recommend it, and like the others reviewing it say, it is NOT a diet book, the theme of weight just is a constant throughout her adult life.
